There was an arrival this morning of German Papers—they are silent as to the reported fall of Missolonghi ; but a Paris Journal, the Elolic of Thursday, received last night, mentions the " to s " of a fort which cotntnands Missolonghi," as a fact of which no doubt is entertained. This fort, which commands the entrance of the her boor, Missolough', as it is asserted, will be -stow inaccessible to any further supplies by sea. It is asserted in some of the French Journals, that Missolongbi has still provisions for several months—but this is altogether improbable. The place has continued,since the commencement of the siege, to be supplied solely by Greek cruizers, which have hitherto eluded the efforts of the Capitan PAcnA to maintain a close blockade. If Missolonghi have not yet. fallen,that event cannot be considered as remote—unless, indeed, the uegociation at St. Petersburgh should influence the conduct of the Turks, and lead to a suspen sion of hostilities. After all that has been said en the subject of the Duke of NI T EI.LINGTOWB mission, the public may be considered as not less ignorant of the real object, than of the progress of his negotiation. The public may indulge incon jecture, but as regards interference by the British Government in the contest between the Turks and Greeks, we are persuaded that Ministers maintain that cautious reserve, which must preclude all knowledge of their policy from yet /conspiring to the public. Bruux, Mimi" 20. His Royal Highness the Margrave Leopold of Baden is ar rived here from St. Petersburgh. The King, by a Cabinet Order of 9th February, has granted to the heirs of Schiller the exclusive right for twenty-fire years to tell the works of that celebrated writer, so that during that Period no person shall be allowed to print them in the same ' S hape as the genuine editions, of in any other, or to sell pirated editions printed else Where. We learn from Warsaw, that on the 4th April a solemn ser vice Is to be performed there in memory of the late Emperor Alexander. DAUMSTADT, AiMICR 31. The official Journal of yesterday contains an Ordinance pre. ic ribing the following regulations, to be observed in the whole Q t . the Grand Duchy, relative to the religious education of chit. 'heft *hen parents arc not of the same religion. . . Art. 1. Unless legal marriage contracts, concluded before the !celebration of, marriage, make other arrangements for the reli. glom' education of children of mixed Marriages, the children of both sexes shall follow the religion of the father. Art. 2. Vitt respect to mixed marriages already existing, the statutes, ordinances, and undisputed usages which have hi therto decided, othidl continue .to do so, unless they have been Altered by expresa eenventions. Art. 3. But, to far as in conformity with the rules mentioned as decisive in A tt. - 2,Ahe parents were allowed to change their :intentions respecting the religion of their children after the ce lebration'of marriage: those who think to make use of it, must declare this intention to the Authorities, who are authorised to ,receive such declarations within one year (that is before Feb. 1, 162 7), and such declaration, when there is no ground to doubt its validity, shall regulate the religious instruction of the chil dren.,(Frankfort Papers, April 1.) STUTTGARD, MARCH 29. The Consistory of the Duchy of Koethen has issued the fol. -10 wing Circular to the Clergy of the Duchy As his Highness the Duke, according to a supreme order received by the Consistory, is pleased no longer to allow the administration of the Sacrament hy ,Reforined Clergy to Lu therans, or by Lutheran Clergy to the Reformed.

Allettneine Zeitang, April 1.) In the House of Commons, last night, the ques tion of the Salary to the Pesident of the Board of Tr ade was resumed in a Committee, and the only mattes of Importance that occupied the attention of the House. Mr. TIERNEY, who expressed his entire concurrence in the propriety of attaching a salary of 150001. a.year to the office of President, was decidedly against abolishing the Treasurership of the Navy, the importance of which, he illustrated by his personal know ledge of an office that lie had himself held. t the same time he protested against placing two such offices at the disposal of Govern ment, and concluded by suggesting an advance of 20001. per annum to the Treasurership, the duties of that office being performed conjointly with those of President. Mr. Husktssost, ad dressing the House, was received with much approbation ; he thought he could not fulfil his duty to the country " by nominally holding both " offices, without bestowing adequate attention " to the duties of each." Mr. CALCRAFr, expect ing that the proposition for deferring the dis cussion was with a view of bringing forward new arguments and facts, had acceded to the wish of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, but ho saw now, that there were other reasons for the post ponement—and amongst them, that the blouse was not at that time so well attended as it then WM• lie finally proposed as an amendment, that the House should report progress, and sit again on Monday—which motion was negatived on a division of 44 against 83. The debate, or con versation, was then resumed, and Mr. If ustc moved an amendment for instituting an in quiry, whether any saving could be made in the office and salary of Treasurer of the Navy, whi h was also negatived on a division, of 35 against 71. The original resolution was then put and carried. It appears by letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 24th of January, that there has been a par tial change in the Brazilian Ministry. The Vis coude de BARBACENA (late General littANT) has resigned kis functions as Minister of Finance, in which he was to be succeeded by D. Manuel Jacinth°. The Visconde de Santo Amaro had vacated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was to bp replaced by A. L. Pereira da Cunha. J. Joaquin+ C. de Campos was to take the Ministry of the Interior instead of Senhor Tinoco. The Visconde de Barbacena, it is said, preserved the Imperial favour, and was to accompany the Em peror on a voyage to Bahia,. which he contem plated taking immediately. The assembling of the Brazilian Congress had been definitively fixed for the 3d of May. Yesterday the Duke of YORK and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AUGUSTA. The result of a consultation held by Messrs. Derrar and TA Rpm, in the case of M. Marshall). d'A itz AC, detained et the Force, has been pu.:3lished. The prisoner was arrested by an officer of the Guards of Madame the Duelviss Of BERRI- ' om a charge of irreverence—of having sent, by the herds of en eldwonutn,some verses offensive to the Princess intogroups formed around her carriage. It was proposed to set him at Li. berry, on condition of his removing 20 leagues from Paris, which he has refused. The fact charged is not in the list of lrgal offences. lle has been five weeks in prison. - Lord .

This was at the hour of three ; about four o'clock, the dial-hand had passud the index of summer. By the judicious adoption of a well•regulate•d day patrol, the parishes of Bl)omsbury and St. Giles, have got rid of much of that annoyance and depredation, with which, in common with other parts of the metropolis, they have been infested. BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 6.—The DP potation from this place to the Directors of the Bank of England to obtain some part of the loan, arrived in London on Wtdnesday last. On Friday they had an interview with the Deputy-Governor of the Bank, and on Saturday, - by appointment, with the Gover nor, Deputy. Governor, and some of the Directors. The Depu. tation were received in the Most polite and friendly manner, and the sum of 31)0,0001. was granted with the greatest readi ness. The deputation has returned .to Birmingham with the cheering intelligence, and a meeting of the. Chamber of Com merce has been called for the purpose of appointing Commis_ itioners for the management and application of the money. 'We understand the deputation have been greatly indebted to our excellent Member, F. Lawley, Esq. for his introduction to the Bank Directors, and for the disinterested zeal he has mani. tested, and the exertions lie has made, for the welfare of this town. The tradesmen of Birmingham are very differently situated to the merchants auto manufacturers of Manchester, Liverpool, .or Glasgo*, whose accumulated stocks of goods are the most ready and suitable deposits' the Bank could re. ceive. This subject, we understand, was duly discussed by the deputation and the Bank Directors, and the money, we are glad to say, was agreed to be lent either on goods or personal security. --(Birmingham , Chronicle.) A COMMISSION 01 , LUNA'Cy was held at Salis bury on lirednesday, before F. NV 4inlianil, Esq., barrister, and W. D. Whitrnarsh and S. Foote, Esqrs., att orne y s , to in quire into the state of, mind of the Rev. Thomas Talbot,' cif Sutton Mandeville. Mr. Osisiond deposed that he had known Mr. Talbot for. Li years ; observed some difference in his be haviour about Michaelmas, 1823, but cannot speak precisely as to the day. Made an inquiry with regard to his health ; said he was well, but, p o i n ting to tlieair,said ai l n ie o , n , wished some of us could get rid of them." Saw him attain maa.eve ; he was knocking et the gates of some of witness's friends; asked whti he wanted. Mr.. Talbot said in reply that he had a message for a friend of his in London ; asked him what was the matter ? said lie was harassed by innumerable beir.gs i.a die air, throwing balls, and be could not at all man age to get out of the reach of them, either in one part of the country or the other. lie said many other inconsistent, wild, and extravagant things, which convinced witness he w a s of insane mind. Two phY:iciiins, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Fowler, spoke to the same delusion. The unfortunwe lunatic was -brought in. lie was most respectable in appearance, and looked ve healthy. lie underwent a long examination : every reply, however, only served to picture a great mind in ruins--occasionally sensible of its original dignity. Ile stated that all he wanted was liberty; detailed the effects of the air blows; confirmed in every point the assertions of Drs. Fowler and Thomas; and cautioned the Jury how they found a ver dict against the Lord',s annulated. After the charge from the Commissioner, the Jury returned a verdict, " That the Rev. T. Talbot had been of insane mind from the 24th of December, 1823." REMARKABLE DAy.---This day is the anniver sary of the death of JottN, KING of FRANCE, captivity, at the Savoy Palace, Strand, 136.1.

One of the attractions on this occasion was the presence of Weber, who conducted, whilst sonic of his own compositions were perfOrmed. Of these, the .only oae at all novel was, an air to German words, sweetly 'sung by Madame Caradori Allan. The chief strength of the concert was instrumental, and of the instrumental perform• ances the most attractive .wes that of Moschelea himself on the piano-fore. The instrutnent is powerless and ineffective for the purposes ofpnblic exhibition, but he accomplishes nearly all that it is possible to accomplish with it. Behan rapidity, variety, b illiancy, and force. Ile played two pieces, one a clever MS. concerto by Hutnmel, the other a new fantasia, composed BY himself; called Recollectiontof Ireland." It consists prig. cipallyof Irish airs, with variations, tastefully arranged. The orch,stral accompaniments are animated and agreeable. Besides these displays of 11Itischeles, there was a concerto on the violin, by Kieswetter, exquisitely played—variations on the flute, to tf.e air, There's nue luck about the Home, by. M. Furstenau, well enough—a duet of two violoncellos, by Lmdley and his Sol, excellent—and a duet on two horns, by the Messrs. Seluneke, remarkably well performed. The vocal music was goal, and well sung, but it included nothing new, and presented no materials for observation. At an early hour the room was filled, and soon after the Concert had commenced, it was lin poisible to find apiece even for standing within the doors. The applause was frequent, but the Concert passed off without the usual absurdity of encoring. This example deserves imitation. TH E SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1828, THE FUNDS.

On his return home, the farmer's aervants, who rej,tulorly messed at the same table, and seldom honoured biro with the name of master, inquired, " Wed, Sandy, hoe ye sel't the lambs ?" " Atweel hae I, and I gat saxpence mane ahead for them than onybody in the market.' —" And ll' wed paid tiller ?" " Na, the Miler's no paid yet, but its sure eneuch." " Wha's your merchant, and what's your security ?" " Troth I never spiered, but he's a decent lookin' man wi , tap hoots, and u bottle-green coat." The servants at this laughed outright, and tauntingly told him he would never get a farthing. Sandy, 'however, thought differently, and having accidently hurt his leg so as to prevent hint from travelling, he sent a shepherd to banghorn, with instructions to look for a man with a bottle-green coat, whom he was sere, he said, to find standing near a certain sign: The shepherd di d he was bid, and, strange to say, disco vered a person standinp at the identical spot, who, on learn. ing his errand,inquired kindly for hismaster, and paid the money to the uttermost farthing. sandy who piqued himself on his skill in physiognomy, heard the news without,emotion, and merely said, " 1 wad at any time trust mair to looks than words, and when I saw Colly smelling about bun sae kindly, I ken't wed eneuch he couldna be a scoundrel." This result differs from one which might have been expected. 'Sandy believed in a " second sight," which, in these times, a knowledge of the arts of life disqualify most persons from indulging on such an occasion. DRODINOSAI an inquest held on the body of an unfortunate man, who was killed by a ma chine in Park-street, Borough, a fact in law was stated by the Coroner which certainly calls for remedy.
